  This example is manually adjusted but is there a way to do this automatically/with one of the BIM tools?

  Please Select the Wall tool, then select the walls, the shift select the roof (make sure roof is selected at last) , then extend using Shift + E, it works in the version I am using, I think this will help.
  blender_version: 5.0.1
  bonsai_version: 0.8.5-alpha260121

  That's it!
  I am sure that I tried it before, though by clicking on the Extend icon instead of using Shift-E and it complained that it needs to be 2 vertical elements or something like that. This is what confused me, because I was sure that I had done it before.
  

  Thank you!

  Hi,
  Further to this, I often get this error when trying to extend a wall to a roof:

  Searching through the Bonsai Python files, I cannot find any reference to this operator. In operator.py there is no variant on extend_to_underside or even extend... Is this a bug or maybe a mismatch between versions?

  Hello again,
  When adjusting the roof slope and attempting to re-extend the walls to the new roof, mostly it fails, but sometimes it generates strange results:
  
  Is there any way to reset a wall to its original SweptSolid representation?
  Using Blender 5.0.1 and Bonsai version 0.8.4.

  'Tab' into the wall, and you will see void shapes. Unfortunately, currently, these voids don't reset, or clean up, if you extend the wall to a modified roof, so you have to delete them, and then extend again.
  I think this would be a good feature request to reset, or remove past voids, if the wall was extended again to that same object.

  @tsvilans, considering your background, you might have enough skill (perhaps, sprinkled with a little AI) to submit this feature yourself. :)

  Thanks @theoryshaw and sorry that I missed your earlier post! I hope to get some time to sit down and get into the codebase a little bit more, in which case of course I would like to contribute :)
